Hi Josh,
Looks great, I really like your stainless accents on the drawers. How long did it take for the actual istallation of the cabinets and were you satisfied with the quality of what was delivered. I ask because I have designer putting together a KM package for me and i just read on an another forum about some pretty unhappy people. They ordered theirs through HDepot. I am getting mine through a small cabinet/kitchen shop. I have heard, although I really do not know if this is true, that the big box stores can get sometimes inferior quality stuff. More mass produced for their demands? Anyway nice kitchen congrats.

I find it hard to believe that the products from Home Depot would be any different from a smaller cabinet supplier. I do know that some manufactures do do this(welders for example)but I can't see cabinet manufactures doing anything different for big box stores.
I actually went to lowes, got a quote, brought the quote to my local cabinet store, and told them I would buy through them if they beat the price. They did.
Concerning quality of the cabinets, I am satisfied with them but it was a LONG road. Here is my story; Kraftmaid forget to send me certain cabinets, sent wrong cabinets, and sent doors that needed to be returned because of poor quality. It was a total disaster. I would get new cabinet doors and the veneer color would be WAY off so I had to send them back again. Probably half of the doors you see in my kitchen have been replaced. Some of the doors where dinged, some of the veneer was very match-booked where you could see individual stripes of veneer, and some of the doors were just way off in color. It was a mess!
However, I honestly believe my situation was because I ordered these cabinets when the Venecia line first came out. I think I was one of the ginuea pigs. Would I do it again? Yes. The reason is because of money savings. I had this same EXACT kitchen(same cabinet and door construction) priced out using WoodMode cabinets and it would of cost twice as much. To me, the Venecia line is a great value, and after all is said and done, I love my kitchen.
To answer your question, it only took a couple of days for myself and one contractor to install the cabinets.
FYI, all the stainless A drawer fronts are not Venecia. They are from http://www.lasertrondirect.com AWESOME quality and a great price.
